Vierlande is a rural area just outside of Hamburg on the river Elbe. The name "Vierlande" literally translates as "four lands" and refers to the four parishes in it (Kirchwerder, Neuengamme, Altengamme and Curslack). The area has a rich cultural tradition of dress and folk art. Girls in this area would create stunning samplers, which in the 19th century were often fully worked with black thread on linen.
For this sampler I used a selection of trees of life and medallions, and two small borders at the top. I came across the text "When this you see remember me - tho many miles we distant be" on an antique enamel box. I thought they were fitting words for a little piece such as this. This design features only full crosses and can be stitched on any counted stitching material. Stitch count is 165 x 139. Finished size on 28 ct is 11.79" x 9.93".
Pattern by My Big Toe Designs featuring the words, "When this you see, Please think of me. In Heaven I'll be smiling down on thee." A wonderful memorial piece that you can personalize with the included alphabet.
